Why Study Music?
If you have ever considered studying music, or maybe the thought has simply crossed your mind, here are some reasons that maybe you should enroll in a music program today:
- Broad range of skills; music is so much more than playing a piano. Music teaches transferable and applicable skills but also requires math and analytical thinking in some contexts as well. A degree in music covers so many subjects and teaches so many skills.
- Supply and demand; professionals in the music world and especially in certain fields are in high demand as music has been somewhat of a declining industry in terms of teachers, producers, therapists etc. for a variety of reasons.
- Music is more entrepreneurial than you may thing; music requires focus, diligence, creativity and innovation, all key components to being a successful entrepreneur. As a matter of fact, many graduates from music programs end up being their own bosses.
- Lack of passion is fatal; it is rare to find an education stream that can combine your hobbies and passions with a formal education and, eventually, a career path. Doing what you love is important for many reasons, life is short and it is great to spend your time doing things that matter to you.
